On my way home from dinner tonight the radio guys were talking about who Trump might pick as his running mate. We all know who it's NOT going to be - Mike Pence. :jet: Or any of the other shitbags currently auditioning. But one of the guys threw a name out there that made me go, "Yes! YES!!!!"

Ready?

















Sarah Huckabee Sanders

Right? She'd be a terrific VP, setting her up for her own POTUS run. She may not want it because DC is a festering hellhole and she is enjoying the love of Arkansans. Who wants to be the target of the insane Democrats? But she may join up for a little "**** you". She seemed to weather it well when she was being run out of restaurants by the loony Left when she was PressSec. I don't get the sense that she wants a real career in politics, she may just be happy doing her thing with no interest in a promotion. But who knows....

Well, clearly that overweight, unattractive broad didn’t sleep or blow her way to the top seat in Arkansas (LOL), so I reckon she’s got that going for her.

I remember a Trump rally I attended in 2020 when he introduced Sarah. When she stood up and waved, the crowd went wild - almost as wild as when Trump stepped onstage. She was rockstar status in the MAGA world In 2020. Not sure if she still is but I’m ok if she is the running mate.

Swarmy Vivek might make a good VP. He's cut from that DC outsider cloth and has real world experience, not some career pol.

I totally thought that a few weeks ago! I'm not sure why - she was on a show in a clip for something going on. She would be PERFECT!! Strong, conservative woman, not afraid to stand her ground and speak her mind and SHE WOULD DO SO IN A WAY THAT JUST SLICES AND DICES without even batting an eye. She does not cower.

Medical patents out the wazoo. Oh yea, a real outsider. LOL.

It’s so much fun to watch y’all’s machinations and self-bargaining starting around this time ever four years.

I've totally soured on Vivek. He's just a bomb-thrower. He has a few ideas, but little substance, and some of his ideas are seriously stupid.

Does Trump pick someone already prominent in the conservative sphere - or someone relatively unknown to the larger public?

I never heard of Pence before Trump nominated him. And I have to admit - J6 notwithstanding - he really didn't distinguish himself at all in all four years as VP. His subsequent treatment of Trump isn't what turns me off about him - it's that, as VP, he was a great big zero.

I always liked Sarah. Like Grumpy says, if Trump wasn't running she would be a great candidate for President, but unlike Nicki she isn't cut out for a double dealer. She wouls make a great VP, but I would hate to see her have to put up with our rabid and treacherous media.

She really does not deserve to have to be the target for every sht throwing liberal ass hole that call themselves a journalist.

I said that months ago. I never understood the attraction. The media was insisting I should like him, but it felt like an arranged marriage.

The Swamey is a done deal, put a fork in him.
He's said SOME things which lead me to think - he's nowhere near as smart as I thought.
For example - he's said he'll support Taiwan as long as we have an interest pertinent to our country - after that, ptooey - they're on their own.

Now - if you were any of our more recently acquired allies - or someone teetering on the edge - do you think you'd want to be ALLIED with a nation that will DITCH you the moment they don't have a valued interest?

I realize that alliances are based largely on these - but given the verbiage - I'd be inclined to ally MY COUNTRY with China - or India - or Russia - rather than place my nation's survival on the whimsical nature of American politics.

Remarks like these makes me think - he doesn't think these kinds of things through very well. He thinks like a businessman - which can be good - but a businessman doesn't have to think about long term alliances with other business partners, and a business will OFTEN throw a partner under the bus. You can't tell Poland or Georgia or Finland - yeah, we'll protect you from Russia - and in the next administration, yank out all of the missiles and troops.
